1 | Is reverence feasible? Always? | Eph 5:33 | Rabbi Mark | 66113 | ||
Emmaus: You put a great deal of research into this. But none of these verses come close to saying what mommapbs suggested. Mary praising God for recognizing her low estate doesn't come close to mommapbs becoming one with god's heartbeat. And Song of Solomon 1:2-4 is a description of God's relationship with Israel and Israel's relationship with God. Not our individual relationship. So that doesn't qualify mommapbs assumptions either. Again, Revelation 22:17 talks not of personal relationships but of how God see's the New City of Jerusalem. As a bride who awaits her husband. Not as mommapbs attempting to become one with God's heartbeat. And the memorial where Mary washes Jesus feet in Luke 7:36-50 shows how much Mary loved and served Jesus. We all should do this and follow her example. But she wasn't trying to become one with his heartbeat. Sorry, but when I read mommapbs wanting to become one with God's heart beat and intimacy (not love, service and self sacrifice) ... I saw how mommapbs words ring more toward the concept of nervana or buddhism when those worshipers feel they are becoming one with God and actually become God. I appreciate your attempt, but of a truth mommapbs words cannot be reconciled with scripture through the best efforts ... as you have just proven. Now, take a closer look at mommapbs words and tell me what you think she is trying to say. Rabbi Mark |

2 | Is reverence feasible? Always? | Eph 5:33 | Hank | 66282 | ||
"Rabbi" Mark, or whoever you are, this occasion marks the first inclination I've had either to enter into the fray of this thread or to address you directly. Please allow me to offer you, a newcomer. a hint or two based solely upon my observation of your posts thus far. I'd measure my words with more care were I you. Let's take Mommapbs, for example. From what I know of her through the fine Christian spirit that shines through her postings, she is as far from Buddhism as east from west. Your remark aimed at linking this Christian lady to Buddhism was lame and crude. And Emmaus, a Christian, a Roman Catholic, and ever a fine example of a gentleman, merits no caustic words such as I have seen hurled toward him in this thread. This is a divisive thread, so much so that I am hard put to it to discern exactly what the point of it is, so bogged down and obscured has it become by mild to severe personal attacks and insults. Again I say, "Rabbi" measure your words. I should think it unlikely that you, sir, were sent to this forum by man or God to teach, judge or condemn its respected users such as Mommapbs and Emmaus. --Hank | ||||||
